Asuka (c) vs. Kelly Khaos (Women’s Title Match)
Both women have put on a display for us tonight. Asuka has been relentless in keeping Kelly off her game and constantly attacking her legs. Asuka hits the ropes and on the rebound lands a dropkick to Kelly’s left knee. Kelly drops to the mat holding her knee and screaming in pain. Asuka is in the corner waiting for Kelly to get to her feet. Once Kelly is up, Asuka charges. Asuka is greeted with a clothesline that sends her crashing to the mat. Both women are down until the 8 count with Kelly getting to her feet first. Kelly starts landing rights and lefts that stagger Asuka and then a big boot then sends her to the mat. Kelly ascends the turnbuckle but stops when Lana appears from the crowd and jumps onto the ring apron. Kelly hops down and confronts Lana then hits her with a right that sends her off the ring. Asuka is to her feet and locks in The Asuka Lock. Kelly is dragged to the mat and after a few seconds is forced to tap out.

Banks climbs up to the last rung and Sabre slides into the ring and pushes the ladder over, sending Banks crashing to the floor on the outside.

Ambrose gets the upper hand and shoves Rush off the ladder sending him crashing onto the same ladder that Deaner is laid out on. Everyone seems to be laying motionless all around him.

Ziggler stands over Ambrose as Drew McIntyre jumps the barricade and hits the ring. Ziggler forces Ambrose to his feet and they connect with their Claymore/Zig Zag Combo and roll him out of the ring.

The bell doesn’t even get a chance to ring and all 8 members attack each other. It’s an all out battle. All the refs in the back rush down to try to break up the fight but it’s no use. The pure hatred these two teams have for each other can’t seem to be contained. Edge comes rushing out on the stage, motioning to the back. The entire locker room rushes down to the ring and pulls all 8 wrestlers apart. As soon as they have them separated, they break free and start fighting again. FTM catches Young with a big boot and tosses him off the stage. Cross goes at Kraven with a chair but Kraven catches it and rips it from her hands. Kraven plants it straight down onto her head, dropping Cross like a sack of potatoes. It doesn’t take long for the rest of Sanity to fall to Malice as refs and EMTs rush out to check on Sanity. Malice stands on the stage laughing while the crowd boos as they hold the Trios Titles above their heads.
